Full house at Weber: CID 2017 in full swing

14.11.2017

With lots of excitement in the air, this year's Cheese Innovation Days at Weber headquarters in Breidenbach, Germany, have launched to a great turnout of over 200 guests from 22 countries. Tobias Weber kicked things off with a warm welcome: "There may not be a fitting trade show out there right now, but since we have plenty of new developments to present to you, we decided to hold our own showcase right here at home. Thanks for being a part of it!"

The managing partner’s opening remarks were followed in the morning program by presentations given by Georg Herbertz, owner of Herbertz Dairy Food Service, with an interesting look at current trends and developments in the international dairy market with an ever-growing worldwide demand for cheese overall and for new challenges in customer demand (innovative, healthy and convenient products). Dr. Peter Muranyi from Fraunhofer Institute focused on new approaches to shelf-life prolongation of cheese by means of special coatings that while not hampering the taste and touch of the product simultaneously help inhibit the growth of spores and mold.
